2020, For What It's Worth To You, It's a Bonus Post

Super Bowl 54 Half-Time Show

First, I saw neither the pole dancing or the crotch-grabbing. I am grateful I missed it.

Albeit, I have been reading varied comments related thereto.

Considering that members of my family either have a degree in dance and/or have invested years taking dance classes; perhaps I can bring an added thought to the conversation table.

The disciple, skill and long workdays that went into the subject half-time show I cannot honestly overlook. However, from the descriptions, I have been given it was a total and completely wasted effort as to redemption, integrity, and wholesomeness.

Inappropriate nudity and perverted sexual expression look good on NO ONE. And I do mean NO ONE. The attractiveness of the human body being displayed is without relevance. There is no good thing to be gained from such behavior. Either male or female. The human body is an exquisite masterpiece and it deserves to be respected, treated with honor and dignity; presenting it publically like a piece of meat in a grocery store display case is reprehensible to the Creator Who designed it and should be to each of us living in each such masterpiece.

So, ladies (and yes gentlemen) stop peddling yourselves to the highest bidder. GOD designed you for better. And if you will stop long enough to ask Him (and wait for His Answers), He will enlighten you.

2020, It's a Bonus Post, James, KWT Paraphrasing

Recipes and King James

King James puts it this way:

James 1:22 (KJV) 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.   source

Just a bit ago hubby asked what’s for lunch. I said I’ll have to think about it.

James 1:22 KWT paraphrasing: Reading, looking, collecting a bi-jillion recipes and then pulling a frozen pizza from the freezer to cook for lunch. That’s a hearer but not a doer.

PostScript. 

Lunch :)

2019, Ephesians, It's a Bonus Post, Questions

A Peek

Good Saturday Afternoon. Want to peek over my shoulder? Yes? Good.

November 3, 2019, Sunday School Notes

Ephesians 5:1-14

5 Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father];  source 

Verse 1, first two words: Therefore Become.

Why is the therefore there for?
Because of what has gone on before. Right?
What was chapter 4?
The Christian’s Walk.
This chapter (5) could be entitled Be Imitators of GOD.
Obviously, because that’s how the Christian is to walk. Right? Imitating GOD.

Now word two.
Become.
This word gives us hope!
Become is a process. GOD did not expect us to wake up the morning after our salvation and be exactly like JESUS in thoughts, words, and deeds. He really didn’t (or doesn’t for that one saved today). But obviously, from Chapter 5 we can be assured He does expect us to BECOME.

It’s a process.

Now isn’t that good news on this Saturday afternoon?!

Yes, I’m studying for Sunday School. :)
